That’s it.
The Bengals played a B+ game at worst last time while played a C+ game at best and they still barely won.
They need to do what they did in the first half of the championship game last year. Get pressure. Get some stops. If you watch the replay, Burrow almost had a pick on the 2nd drive bc of pressure. He was also sacked. And guess what? They scored only 3 points.
Mahomes yolo pick, Kelce fumble, missed FG, bad tackling, not getting Burrow to the ground when your hands are on him. If you cut those mistakes in half, our chances of winning rise dramatically.

Bengals had 10 points instead of 3 points in the first half last year. Cincy put together a TD drive that ended with 1 minute left in 2nd quarter. And of course KC had the drive with 1 minute left that ended with no points on the Bengals goal line. If I remember right, KC had wasted a timeout earlier in the half and sadly it came back to hurt them in the final seconds of the half.
The most recent game featured a reversal of fortune in terms of failing on the goal line. Cincy missed out on 3-7 points to end the first half when Carlos Dunlap blew up their 4th down rushing attempt near the KC goal line.
